Response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic revealed gaps in medical supply quality and personnel training and familiarity in San Francisco County, prompting the reexamination of county disaster supply caches and emergency medical services (EMS) system decompression protocols. Project RESPOND (Rapid Emergency Supplies for Prehospital Operations in Disaster) was developed to bridge the gap in patient care infrastructure during short- or no-warning disasters and enhance EMS system offloading by introducing a novel capacity for the safe treatment and discharge of patients with minor injuries from the scene of an event. This design, while scaled to the needs of a unique metropolitan population, can be used as a template for the reimagining of disaster response policy and development of disaster supply caches.
应对冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行揭示了旧金山市县医疗供应质量和人员培训及熟悉程度方面的差距，促使人们重新审查该县灾害供应储备和紧急医疗服务（EMS）系统减压协议。项目 RESPOND（灾难期间现场操作的紧急供应品）的开发是为了弥合短期或无预警灾害期间患者护理基础设施方面的差距，并通过引入一种安全治疗和从事件现场出院轻伤患者的新能力来增强 EMS 系统的卸载能力。这种设计虽然针对独特的大都市人口的需求进行了调整，但可以用作重新构想灾害应对政策和开发灾害供应储备的模板。
